Joanna Sternberg has shared a new song titled “A Country Dance.” The artist wrote the song for Between the Temples, an upcoming movie directed by Nathan Silver and starring Jason Schwartzman and Carol Kane. Listen to it below.

“A Country Dance” was inspired by Sami Bronowski, the first person who ever encouraged Sternberg to sing in public. “The joke of the song is: I don’t dance, I don’t drink wine, I don’t go outside and I DEFINITELY do not go out in nature (allergies and insect phobias), but I wanted a playful nonsensical song to sing and to capture the fun I have with my dear pal,” explained Sternberg.

“A Country Dance” is the third new song Sternberg has released since their sophomore album, I’ve Got Me, came out last summer. It follows “Neighbors” and “Without You.”
